You can change the type of an attachment from the attachment menu
(after hitting 'v'). After moving the cursor to the attachment
and before hitting RETURN to open it, hit control-e, and enter
"application/msword" or whatever.
And politely ask whoever sent you that attachment to fix their
mail user agent software. :)
